Dear All,

We have a trolley with double drive (trolley size 11mX1.7m)
wheel dia 175 mm
Total wt. on trolley = 7 Tones.
Speed of trolley 40 mpm
Distance to travel 8 m
Drive - direct mounted on wheel

Please help me to calculate how much torque will needed to start the trolley and get the speed of 40mpm in details

Start by drawing a free body diagram with all the forces and dimensions.

Since you have the mass of the trolley and its intended velocity, you can find the resultant force needed to carry it 8 m using energy methods.
 

FAQ: Trolley Torque Calc: Start & Achieve Speed of 40 mpm

What is Trolley Torque Calc?

Trolley Torque Calc is a tool used to calculate the amount of torque needed to start and achieve a speed of 40 meters per minute for a trolley.

Why is it important to calculate trolley torque?

Calculating trolley torque is important because it helps determine the amount of force needed to move a trolley at a specific speed. This information is essential for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of trolleys in various industries.

How does Trolley Torque Calc work?

Trolley Torque Calc uses the formula T = (F x r)/N to calculate torque, where T is torque, F is force, r is radius, and N is revolutions per minute (rpm). The tool takes into account the weight and dimensions of the trolley, as well as the desired speed of 40 meters per minute, to determine the required torque.

What are the inputs needed for Trolley Torque Calc?

The inputs needed for Trolley Torque Calc include the weight of the trolley, the dimensions of the wheels, and the desired speed of 40 meters per minute. The tool may also require additional information, such as the coefficient of friction and the efficiency of the trolley's motor.

Can Trolley Torque Calc be used for all types of trolleys?

Trolley Torque Calc can be used for most types of trolleys, including overhead trolleys, gantry trolleys, and hand trolleys. However, the tool may not be suitable for specialized trolleys with unique designs or propulsion systems.
